Hubs are not hubcaps. Hubs are basically what connect your front tire to your front axle..... This talk of auto, manual hubs only applies to first gen's. On later explorers the hubs are always engaged.

Hubs are on 4wds....basically they are a lock that connects the front wheels to the front axle to change from 2wd to 4wd. Manual hubs have to be manually locked from the outside, by twisting them. Auto hubs are electric.
